ASKING QUESTIONS – Using curiosity as a launchpad for clarity
COACHING – Activating talent and wisdom from each individual
STORYTELLING – Connecting memorable experiences to your interactions
UNDERSTANDING PRODUCTIVITY STYLES – Breakthrough performance for
you and your team
TWIST is a Unique ExperienceIt is an immersive experience. Every detail spanning the three days is planned
to be part of one powerful conference. Check into the Lodge and check out

component of your business and may have greater skills than the organization is
utilizing? Who shows the capability to honestly look at herself and others and has
the patience to pursue deeper and more meaningful leadership questions?

Round Table Discussions Touchdown Titans:Charlotte Women Who Play Big
PLAYING BIG: GAME CHANGING BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCEDr. Jen Welter is the first female to coach in the
NFL. She served as an intern linebackers coach
for the Arizona Cardinals. Being the first woman
to do something is not new to Jen as she was also
the first woman to coach in a men’s professional
football league. In 2015 she served as the linebacker
and special teams coach for the Indoor Football League’s
Texas Revolution. Prior to that, in January 2014 Welter became the first woman
to play running back in a men’s professional football season, when she signed
with the Revolution. Welter holds a doctorate degree in Psychology and Master’s
in Sport Psychology. Her background provides her with a unique insight—both
as a player and academic—into the power of sport and coaching.
Jen Welter will be the keynote at both the TWIST breakfast and the TWIST conference.
